        <h2>Performance</h2>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>kout1,...koutN</em></span> -- control-rate signals to be written to the file. The expected range of the signals is determined by the selected sample format.
    </p>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>foutk</em></span> operates in the same way as <a class="link" href="fout.html" title="fout"><em class="citetitle">fout</em></a>, but with k-rate signals. <span class="emphasis"><em>iformat</em></span> can be set only in the range 0 to 9, or 0 to 1 with an old version of Csound.
    </p>
        <p>
      Notice that <a class="link" href="fout.html" title="fout"><em class="citetitle">fout</em></a> and <span class="emphasis"><em>foutk</em></span> can use either a string containing a file pathname, or a handle-number generated by <a class="link" href="fiopen.html" title="fiopen"><em class="citetitle">fiopen</em></a>. Whereas, with <a class="link" href="fouti.html" title="fouti"><em class="citetitle">fouti</em></a> and <a class="link" href="foutir.html" title="foutir"><em class="citetitle">foutir</em></a>, the target file can be only specified by means of a handle-number.
